Election law in this country is often written to discourage minor party candidates.?

Question

What should I draw for this as a political cartoon . Does anyone have suggestions has to what I shud draw?

Answer 1

Not sure what you should draw for it. I would amend your statement. It is not written to discourage minor party candidates. It is written to make it difficult for minor parties to get on the ballot.

Typically, most states require a petition in proper form signed by registered voters of that state. For each page submitted, the person who was getting signatures must verify under oath that they personally observed the petition being signed and that they verified the identity of the person signing the petition. (In other words, you can't leave the petition on the counter of a store or posted in a public place.) Furthermore, the number of confirmed signatures usually must be around 1% of the people who voted in the last election. Even for the established parties, if they were required to use petitions to get on the ballot, it would be difficult.

In some states (New York in particular), they also use petitions to keep unapproved candidates (those without adequate support at nominating conventions) off the primary ballot.

I don't know if any of the above will give you any ideas of how to put the legal hurdles into visual form, but I hope it does spark some ideas.

Sesame Street. The episode on spelling.

Answer 3

I wasn't even aware that election law was written often.

Answer 4

How about drawing manure, because I believe that statement to be a big load of Grade-A crap.
